Nature Therapy

Today was a stressful day. The first draft of the grant app was due by the end of the day.

I made it! Whoo!

But man, was I wrung out by the end of the day. So I packed up a notebook and walked over to a park a little ways from my house... and just sat there writing for half an hour. Brainstorming novel ideas, working on my outline. It was wonderful, very peaceful with no distractions. So much easier to think in that kind of peace and quiet.

I need to do that more often.
